Rich Usual

Theory has it: leisure classes are taught
you must go up a rung
or the ladder will fall upon you
raiding your place.

Get it, rush for it,
geckos are up the wall
painting the picture
of a wealthy Mary.

Halos around the head
of the people who lead
us into a mess
looked good doing it.

Be a chaos maker
they said
as long as you
place the right bets.
